Hi – I’m Mary and welcome to my blog!
I’m writing this blog to share my story of Overcoming Panic Attacks with others who suffer from general anxiety and panic attacks – just like I did until very recently.
As a panic attack sufferer, I’d tried so many things and suffered for so long that I never thought I could be cured by something so simple (Joe Barry’s “One Move”).

In total I’d been having panic attacks for five years and I’d had general anxiety disorder for around ten years.
It started with some problems in my personal life that really upset my confidence. Instead of just worrying now and then, I found that I was always anxious – even when there wasn’t an obvious reason.
My anxiety gradually wore me down. I was always tired (because instead of sleeping I would lay awake at night worrying) and I could never concentrate properly. Waking up with butterflies in my stomach became normal to me.
Then, about five years ago I had my first panic attack. It was such a terrifying experience – I felt completely helpless and out of control. From then on I worried constantly about having another attack, which of course just made things worse.
Nothing my doctor (and later my therapist) suggested really worked and I got used to having an attack every few days. I really thought I’d never be rid of them.
It was the damage I was doing to my family that made me finally decide “I’ve had enough”.
Over time I’d begun avoiding situations that might cause an attack. Eventually, things got so bad that I had no quality of life. Worse still, I knew I was letting my family down because there was so much I couldn’t do.
That’s when I began searching the internet for a cure. It was pure chance that I found out about Joe Barry and his “One Move”, but I’m so grateful that I did.
I admit I was skeptical at first, but Joe has helped thousands of people in overcoming panic attacks and leading normal lives so I thought “it’s worth a try” and I read his book (Click here to visit Joe’s website).
How glad I am that I did! I still can’t believe that an idea that is so simple could cure me.
Joe calls it the “One Move”. Unlike any of the other techniques I’ve been shown the One Move actually puts you in control during a panic attack. Being in control immediately reduces the fear and allows you to overcome it.
The “One Move” worked the first time I tried it and it’s worked every time since. In fact, after a few days I found I could stop a panic attack before it even started.
I had broken the cycle of fear! Because I knew I could control my panic attacks I started to worry about them less. And because I was less worried I was less likely to have an attack. Now I haven’t had an attack for months and I’m no longer afraid.
I still can’t believe that I’ve been cured by something so simple. I honestly feel like Joe’s given me a second chance at life! This blog is my chance to give something back – because if I can do it anyone can. Love – Mary x

Thanks Mary. I visited Joe’s site and I’m going to give his method a go. Fingers crossed for me! Linda
What should I do if my bf has an panic attack? He hasn’t had any issues since I met him (four months now), but in the past he has suffered a lot due to anxiety, and he still takes medication. He’s currently nowadays (grad school, looking for a home, etc…) and even though I believe he’ll be just fine, he warned me in advanced that , or experience an anxiety attack. What should I do?
It’s great that he hasn’t had one since you met, but if you’re still worried about him you could get him to read up on how the “One Move” works.
What’s so good about it is that it allows a panic attack sufferer to deal with an attack immediately – while it’s happening. This in turn gives them the confidence to know that they can cope, which means they become less anxious and therefore less likely to have an attack. With a bit of practice it can then be used to stop an attack before it gets going.
Unfortunately, I can’t explain the “One Move” in full detail, because it’s copyright material, but there’s a link to Joe Barry’s website at the bottom of this post. If you go to the bottom of the first page of Joe’s site there is a button – click on that and on the next page he explains about the “One Move”. Hope this helps.
